The Care Quality Commission(CQC) inspects GP practices and other primary medical services in England to check that they are meeting the national standards of quality and safety.

If you provide health care or adult social care services that are regulated
activities under the Health and Social Care Act 2008, you must be
registered with us, the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Our focus is always on the impact of care on patients, and we must ensure
that all patients receive safe and good quality care, wherever it is provided.
We regulate against the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated
Activities) Regulations 2010 and the Care Quality Commission

standards of quality and safety that people who use health and social
care services have a right to expect. They are included within our
Guidance about Compliance: Essential standards of quality and safety
.
This booklet is designed to help you understand how we check your
compliance with the regulations and what to expect from an inspection.

public about the quality and safety of services, other parts of the system
